I crawled into an abyss of dread and beheld the horror of its ugly head expecting, then believing it would teach me the invaluable lessons I needed to learn about honesty and truth from the darker side of life in the underground. I swear it's true! I saw Nietzsche there standing upside-down and when I … Continue reading Deliberation: Henry Peters
Sartre stood at Snowdon: Spencer Elliot Carr
Pseudo-breeze swept up his strawberry sneer, High-tension line quivering in philharmonic glee, Mind soaking hypertonic sound, Shattering five-dollar shoes, Siphoning silent shoestring thoughts, 22-cents a pound. Long answer see-through sheets of milky fog, Sustained breath shining succulent and nitrogen bathed, Seething softly in somnolent flight, Osmotic diffusion, It slithers away. Susceptible, shaking and quarter-full, Awaiting … Continue reading Sartre stood at Snowdon: Spencer Elliot Carr
Magic: Cassandra Kulay
The air is damp and clear, the storms are never too severe, mud and dirt are everywhere, waiting to give birth to plants and flowers, bunnies run rampant, the outdoors works its magic on my soul, I feel so free, everything looks good to me, the renewal of life comes so easily, to the earth … Continue reading Magic: Cassandra Kulay

This is Not my Fault: Stephen W. Sigurdson
Making something out of nothing, as daunting as it may seem. Now people are gone, not coming back, inspiration weakened, circling an empty track. Competing with a numb, miserable fellow. He resides inside, passing the hours, just needing to hide, as his personality sours. It is funny when once upon a time there was all … Continue reading This is Not my Fault: Stephen W. Sigurdson
The Secret: Pamela Wain
It is a secret, you must never tell. Secrets are forever, shared between two people. A secret sits on top of a steeple right on the tip, say one word, it will slip. A secret is forever, a person should never, never tell another a soul, it is a lifelong goal. A secret is followed … Continue reading The Secret: Pamela Wain
Freedom: Marjolaine Brodeur
Wow! It’s done. I am now free to begin making plans for the next phase of my life. Freed from the shackles that had insidiously grown tighter and tighter on my life; my shoulders are still achy from having borne the many responsibilities that became mine alone to bear as the people who made up … Continue reading Freedom: Marjolaine Brodeur

You pray for, rain To quench your thirst. You beg for salvation In the midst of a war… You beg to be heard Alone in the woods… You would die of thirst, floating On the ocean, between the waves and the sky. Blinded by the light of the sun. You would beg to be buried … Continue reading Untitled: Jordan Derkson
